Calamity

Chapter1

How much I missed the outside city with the car's making a hell of a noise, poeple walking all over the place like ants and the long waiting traffic.

I'm in my mother's car sitting in the backseat looking out the window, listening to my mother and little sister talk about the five months I've missed from home while I was in rehab, which made me even more depressed. I don't ever want to remember that awful place, the food, the pills, the lonely room, the countless days and nights.......

"Amanda!!!"

"What?" I said back annoyed to my sister still keeping my eyes out the window.

"Wow sorry, I just wanted to tell you how good I did in my math exams"she said back mad turning back around in the passenger seat looking straight to the road in front of her.

Kelly, my little sister who is in seven grade was always the smartest, prettiest and happiest one in our family where I was always the quiet, depressed one. I Wasn't always so mean to my sister, we were like best friends but I guess I'm just not in the mood. All I wanted to do right now is get into "my" lovely bed that I've missed in months and fall asleep.

As we got out of the long waiting traffic we arrived to a dirty looking apartment that I called HOME.

We weren't rich but we weren't poor, we got what we needed and what we wanted, but I could see my mother has been struggling with money with paying that awful rehab, my homeschooling I had to do in rehab and Kelly's school. My mom is struggling to just make ends meet, that is why I lifted a bit of her burden by booking myself out of rehab early they weren't helping anyway.

"No honey, me and Kelly will take your bags in. You go in, take a shower and go to bed.... I can see you tired" my mother said as she got some of my bags in her hands.

I gave her a small smile and walked up the stairs to apartment seven. I opened the door and I felt home, I walked into my room not wanting to go shower because I was to tired. As I got into my room I could feel the smile of joy growing onto my face, how much I missed this room, everthing was so clean and you could see the sunlight shining through the window not like the room by that awful rehab place where the room was dirty and cold with no lights, no sunlights .

I walked up to my window closing the black curtains and jumping into my warm bed. As I closed my eyes everything goes black, and for the first time in months I have a peaceful nights rest.
